TIMELY TURF TIPS

Right n o w c lubs should forget fairway fertiliza-tion. Milorganite fed courses wil l n o t fare too badly wi thout being fertil ized for a year or two.

Bonds knows he'll have a roof over his head and 3 squares a day no matter what happens!

War Bonds pay you back $4 for every $3 in 10 years. But, if you don't hang on to your Bonds for the full ten years, you don't get the full face value, and . . . you won't have that money coming in later on.

And that's the lesson about War Bonds you can learn from him. Once you get hold of a War Bond, HANG ON TO IT for the full ten years of its life.

You buy War Bonds because you want to put some of your money into fighting the war. But . . . if you don't hang on to those War Bonds, your money isn't going to stay in the battle.

And . . . you want to set aside some money for the future. N o one knows just what's going to happen after the War. But the man with a fistful of War
